“Until lawmakers end the catch-and-release policies of the Obama
administration,” said Jessica Vaughan of the Center for Immigration
Studies, “any infrastructure improvements, new strategies, and better
metrics are pointless.”

“That's the candidate
in him, the one that prefers performing for adoring crowds instead of
performing Oval Office duties.”

The economy, like

Who is this guy pretending to be president?

By ANDREW MALCOLM
Posted 04/13/2012 08:18 AM ET

Has anyone seen Barack Obama recently? WHAT WOULD HE LOOK LIKE IF WE DID?

You know, the optimistic hopeful fellow with the charming smile who promised so
many positive things four and five years ago, how he was going to change the
harsh, partisan tone of our nation's capital and bring the country together as
its first African American president.

Even allowing for political hyperbole, his empty resume and the invisible
witnesses from the past, Obama was such a Real Good Talker that even some who
didn't vote for him still had hope that he could change some things for the
better in what seemed a sadly-splintered society.

WTH did that Obama go? Have you listened recently to this Chicago Doppelganger
who's replaced him? This 2012 Obama is strident and mean, even deceitful,
divisive, telling half-truths after half-truths. He's using Air Force One as
his personal Brinks truck with wings to collect cash all over the country,
disguising the trips as official.

He tries to intimidate the Supreme Court, an equal branch of government, when
its thinking might stray from his. He distorts history, and if no one calls
him, then it's true. If he's caught, this Obama says you obviously mis-heard.
Because, as everyone knows, he could never mis-speak.

The economy, like everything else
adverse, is someone else's fault. But if only we borrowed and spent a trillion
dollars, unemployment would stay beneath 8%, Obama promised. It soared far
above. It's still above. No apology. No acknowledgment. Now, he hails any dip
as proof of progress when, in fact, it comes because so many just give up
seeking work.

He chastises House Republicans for their draconian budget when his Senate
Democrats haven't written a single one in three years; so, the fiscal drift
abides. And wait till he exaggerates the frightening things the GOP wants to
do, instead of presenting his own ideas.

Obama claims credit for the bottom half of a pipeline he had nothing to do
with, when he killed the top half. He brags that domestic oil drilling is up
when the part he's responsible for is down.

He says no one should ever go to Las Vegas on the taxpayer's dime. Then his
wife, daughters and entourage do just that.

This year's Obama talks of the importance of windmills, algae and green energy,
but he takes a 17-SUV motorcade to a photo op with an electric car. He lambasts
oil companies for getting the same legal tax incentives (he calls them
"subsidies") that other companies receive, hoping to aim anger at
them so voters won't notice that gas prices have doubled since his inauguration
with Honest Abe's Bible.

Take this Tuesday. The 2012 Obama flew to Florida for an official presidential
speech on the economy, then three fundraisers. That way his campaign only pays
a fraction of Air Force One's $182,000 per flight hour cost. All presidents do
that, though none have done near as many.

But read the four speeches. You can't tell which is official and which is
political. They're all political. He can't be a real president for one lousy
speech? Why the phony presidential fig leaf? To chintz the United States of
America out of a few thousand bucks when he plans to raise a billion?

The Buffet Rule? Americans have always admired the successful. The only thing
wrong with rich people is we're not one of them -- yet. But now he's pitting
most of us against rich folks, which is him, come to think of it. The only way
he's bringing us together now is to resent their paying a smaller legal rate
because theirs is a different kind of income.

And speaking of taxes, which are due Tuesday, how can the president of the
United States allow 36 of his own White House aides to fall $833,000 behind in
their tax payments?

How is that what the first Obama offered, making him an example of American
success? (Hint: His GOP opponent is far richer than Obama and earned it the old-fashioned
way through work, not fronting books.)

OK, Obama wants political skirmishes all over on any petty thing so people
won't notice the absence of any conceivably positive record to run on. Risky
when Americans start paying attention. But if that's his only card. It's all
the Republicans' fault, of course. That's
the candidate in him, the one that prefers performing for adoring crowds
instead of performing Oval Office duties.

But whatever happened to the president part? The leader. The principled man who
through his personal story, skills and charm was going to inspire, convince,
cajole Americans as diverse as himself to work together for a common national
success? That official part has merged with the political, like the four
Florida speeches. Now, he's just trying to fool everybody about everything.

In a way, this could be good news for Republicans. The duplicate Ernst Blofeld
makes Mitt Romney look like Mr. Rogers.

But without real presidential leadership, Obama's hand-picked harpie atop the Democratic
National Committee feels empowered to assign a hired gun to dismiss his
opponent's wife, the cancer-surviving mother of five sons, as someone who's
never worked a day in her life. Are they that scared already?

Seriously? We're going to pit now one kind of working woman against another?
The guy who talks about having so many women in his life isn't going to fire
the women responsible for that? He thinks American women will buy this stuff?

OK, Obama was raised by grandparents because he didn't always have a
stay-at-home mom or dad. But this is a nation, not a dysfunctional family or a
windy city party where factions are left to their own wards and Solyndras.

Obama is the guy who said his own wife was off limits politically, the guy
whose mother-in-law has resided since Day One in the White House at taxpayer
expense as a live-in nanny so the first lady can campaign for money and healthy
foods? But a woman who stays at home with her kids at no public expense can be
trashed because of her party?

We were never exactly fond of the Original Obama. But we'd take him any day
over the twilight character that inhabits the Oval Office now.

Whose
Country Is This?

Pat Buchanan
Tuesday, April 27, 2010

With
the support of 70 percent of its citizens, Arizona has ordered sheriffs and
police to secure the border and remove illegal aliens, half a million of whom
now reside there.

Arizona
acted because the U.S. government has abdicated its constitutional duty to
protect the states from invasion and refuses to enforce America's immigration
laws.

"We
in Arizona have been more than patient waiting for Washington to act,"
said Gov. Jan Brewer. "But decades of inaction and misguided policy have
created an unacceptable situation."

We
have a crisis in Arizona because we have a failed state in Washington.

What is the response of
Barack Obama, who took an oath to see to it that federal laws are faithfully
executed?

He is siding with the
law-breakers. He is pandering to the ethnic lobbies. He is not berating a
Mexican regime that aids and abets this invasion of the country of which he is
commander in chief. Instead, he attacks the government of Arizona for trying to
fill a gaping hole in law enforcement left by his own dereliction of duty.

He
has denounced Arizona as "misguided." He has called on the Justice
Department to ensure that Arizona's sheriffs and police do not violate anyone's
civil rights. But he has said nothing about the rights of the people of Arizona
who must deal with the costs of having hundreds of thousands of lawbreakers in
their midst.

How's
that for Andrew Jackson-style leadership?

Obama
has done everything but his duty to enforce the law.

Undeniably,
making it a state as well as a federal crime to be in this country illegally,
and requiring police to check the immigration status of anyone they have a
"reasonable suspicion" is here illegally, is tough and burdensome.
But what choice did Arizona have?

The
state has a fiscal crisis caused in part by the burden of providing schooling
and social welfare for illegals and their families, who consume far more in
services than they pay in taxes and who continue to pour in. Even John McCain
is now calling for 3,000 troops on the border.

Police
officers and a prominent rancher have been murdered. There have been
kidnappings believed to be tied to the Mexican drug cartels. There are nightly
high-speed chases through the barrios where innocent people are constantly at
risk.

If
Arizona does not get control of the border and stop the invasion, U.S. citizens
will stop coming to Arizona and will begin to depart, as they are already
fleeing California.

A country that cannot control
its borders isn't really a country anymore, Ronald Reagan reminded us.

What
we are talking about here is the Balkanization and breakup of a nation into
ethnic enclaves. A country that cannot
control its borders isn't really a country anymore, Ronald Reagan reminded us.

The
tasks that Arizonans are themselves undertaking are ones that belong by right,
the Constitution and federal law to the Border Patrol, Immigration and Customs
Enforcement, and Homeland Security.

Arizona
has been compelled to assume the feds' role because the feds won't do their
job. And for that dereliction of duty the buck stops on the desk of the
president of the United States.

Why
is Obama paralyzed? Why does he not enforce the law, even if he dislikes it, by
punishing the businessmen who hire illegals and by sending the 12 million to 20
million illegals back home? President Eisenhower did it. Why won't he?

*

OBAMA
THE HISPANDERING PRESIDENT SELLING OUT HIS OWN COUNTRY FOR THE ILLEGALS’ VOTES!

*

Because
he is politically correct. Because he owes a big debt to the Hispanic lobby
that helped deliver two-thirds of that vote in 2008. Though most citizens of
Hispanic descent in Arizona want the border protected and the laws enforced,
the Hispanic lobby demands that the law be changed.

Fair
enough. But the nation rose up as one to reject the
"path-to-citizenship" -- i.e., amnesty -- that the 2007 plan of
George W. Bush, McCain, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama envisioned.

Al
Sharpton threatens to go to Phoenix and march in the streets against the new
Arizona law. Let him go.

JOBS?
NO LEGAL NEED APPLY HERE!

Let
us see how many African-Americans, who are today frozen out of the 8 million
jobs held by illegal aliens that might otherwise go to them or their children,
will march to defend an invasion for which they are themselves paying the
heaviest price.

Last
year, while Americans were losing a net of 5 million jobs, the U.S. government
-- Bush and Obama both -- issued 1,131,000 green cards to legal immigrants to
come and take the jobs that did open up, a flood of immigrants equaled in only
four other years in our history.

What
are we doing to our own people?

Whose
country is this, anyway?

America
today has an establishment that, because it does not like the immigration laws,
countenances and condones wholesale violation of those laws.

Nevertheless,
under those laws, the U.S. government is obligated to deport illegal aliens and
punish businesses that knowingly hire them.

This
is not an option. It is an obligation.

Can
anyone say Barack Obama is meeting that obligation?

The
Administration's Phantom Immigration Enforcement Policy

According
to DHS’s own reports, very little of our nation’s borders (Southwestern or
otherwise) are secure, and gaining control is not even a goal of the
department.

By
Ira Mehlman
Published on 12/07/2009
Townhall.com

The
setting was not quite the flight deck of the U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln with a
“Mission Accomplished” banner as the backdrop, but it was the next best thing.
Speaking at the Center for American Progress (CAP) on Nov. 13, Homeland
Security Secretary Janet Napolitano declared victory over illegal immigration
and announced that the Obama administration is ready to move forward with a
mass amnesty for the millions of illegal aliens already living in the United
States.

Arguing
the Obama administration’s case for amnesty, Napolitano laid out what she
described as the “three-legged stool” for immigration reform. As the
administration views it, immigration reform must include “a commitment to
serious and effective enforcement, improved legal flows for families and
workers, and a firm but fair way to deal with those who are already here.”

Acknowledging
that a lack of confidence in the government’s ability and commitment to
effectively enforce the immigration laws it passes proved to be the Waterloo of
previous efforts to gain amnesty for illegal aliens, Napolitano was quick to
reassure the American public that those concerns could be put to rest.

“For
starters, the security of the Southwest border has been transformed from where
it was in 2007,” stated the secretary. Not only is the border locked up tight,
she continued, but the situation is well in-hand in the interior of the country
as well. “We’ve also shown that the government is serious and strategic in its
approach to enforcement by making changes in how we enforce the law in the
interior of the country and at worksites…Furthermore, we’ve transformed
worksite enforcement to truly address the demand side of illegal immigration.”

If
Rep. Joe Wilson had been in attendance to hear Secretary Napolitano’s CAP
speech he might well have had a few choice comments to offer. But since he
wasn’t, we will have to rely on the Department of Homeland Security’s own data
to assess the veracity of Napolitano’s claims.

According
to DHS’s own reports, very little of our nation’s borders (Southwestern or
otherwise) are secure, and gaining control is not even a goal of the
department. DHS claims to have “effective control” over just 894 miles of
border. That’s 894 out of 8,607 miles they are charged with protecting. As for
the other 7,713 miles? DHS’s stated border security goal for FY 2010 is the
same 894 miles.

The
administration’s strategic approach to interior and worksite enforcement is
just as chimerical as its strategy at the border, unless one considers
shuffling paper to be a strategy. DHS data, released November 18, show that
administrative arrests of immigration law violators fell by 68 percent between
2008 and 2009. The department also carried out 60 percent fewer arrests for
criminal violations of immigration laws, 58 percent fewer criminal indictments,
and won 63 percent fewer convictions.

While
the official unemployment rate has climbed from 7.6 percent when President
Obama took office in January to 10 percent today, the administration’s worksite
enforcement strategy has amounted to a bureaucratic game of musical chairs. The
administration has all but ended worksite enforcement actions and replaced them
with paperwork audits. When the audits determine that illegal aliens are on the
payroll, employers are given the opportunity to fire them with little or no
adverse consequence to the company, while no action is taken to remove the
illegal workers from the country. The illegal workers simply acquire a new set
of fraudulent documents and move on to the next employer seeking workers
willing to accept substandard wages.

In
Janet Napolitano’s alternative reality a mere 10 percent of our borders under
“effective control” and sharp declines in arrests and prosecutions of
immigration lawbreakers may be construed as confidence builders, but it is hard
to imagine that the American public is going to see it that way. If anything,
the administration’s record has left the public less confident that promises of
future immigration enforcement would be worth the government paper they’re
printed on.

As
Americans scrutinize the administration’s plans to overhaul immigration policy,
they are likely to find little in the “three-legged stool” being offered that
they like or trust. The first leg – enforcement – the administration has all
but sawed off. The second – increased admissions of extended family members and
workers – makes little sense with some 25 million Americans either unemployed
or relegated to part-time work. And the third – amnesty for millions of illegal
aliens – is anathema to their sense of justice and fair play.

As
Americans well know, declaring “Mission Accomplished” and actually
accomplishing a mission are two completely different things. When it comes to
enforcing immigration laws, the only message the public is receiving from this
administration is “Mission Aborted.”

Obama soft on illegals enforcement

Arrests of illegal immigrant
workers have dropped precipitously under President Obama, according to figures
released Wednesday. Criminal arrests, administrative arrests, indictments and
convictions of illegal immigrants at work sites all fell by more than 50
percent from fiscal 2008 to fiscal 2009.

The figures show that Mr. Obama has made good on his pledge to shift
enforcement away from going after illegal immigrant workers themselves - but at
the expense of Americans' jobs, said Rep. Lamar Smith of Texas, the Republican
who compiled the numbers from the Department of Homeland Security's U.S.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency (ICE). Mr. Smith, the top Republican
on the House Judiciary Committee, said a period of economic turmoil is the
wrong time to be cutting enforcement and letting illegal immigrants take jobs
that Americans otherwise would hold.

BARACK OBAMA HAS COLLECTED NEARLY TWICE AS MUCH MONEY AS
JOHN McCAIN

BY DAVID SALTONSTALL

DAILY NEWS SENIOR CORRESPONDENT

July 1st 2008

Wall Street firms have chipped in more than $9 million to
Barack Obama. Zurga/Bloomberg

Wall Street is investing heavily in Barack Obama.

Although the Democratic presidential hopeful has vowed to
raise capital gains and corporate taxes, financial industry bigs have
contributed almost twice as much to Obama as to GOP rival John McCain, a Daily
News analysis of campaign records shows.
"Wall Street wants change and wants a curtailment in
spending. It wants someone who focuses on the domestic economy," said Jim
Cramer, the boisterous host of CNBC's "Mad Money."

Cramer also does not discount nostalgia for the go-go 1990s,
when Bill Clinton led the largest economic expansion in history.

It wants a Clinton like in 1992, but not a Hillary
Clinton," he said. "That's Barack Obama."

For both candidates, Wall Street's investment and banking
sectors have become among their portliest cash cows, contributing $9.5 million
to Obama and $5.3 million to McCain so far.

It's a haul that is already raising concerns that, as the
nation's faltering economy has become issue No. 1, the two candidates may have
a hard time playing tough on issues like market regulation or corporate-tax
loopholes.

"No matter who wins in November, Wall Street will have
a friend in the White House," said Massie Ritsch of the Center for
Responsive Politics, which crunched the data for The News.

The
state has a fiscal crisis caused in part by the burden of providing schooling
and social welfare for illegals and their families, who consume far more in
services than they pay in taxes and who continue to pour in. Even John McCain
is now calling for 3,000 troops on the border.

Police
officers and a prominent rancher have been murdered. There have been
kidnappings believed to be tied to the Mexican drug cartels. There are nightly
high-speed chases through the barrios where innocent people are constantly at
risk.

If
Arizona does not get control of the border and stop the invasion, U.S. citizens
will stop coming to Arizona and will begin to depart, as they are already
fleeing California.

A country that cannot control
its borders isn't really a country anymore, Ronald Reagan reminded us.

What
we are talking about here is the Balkanization and breakup of a nation into
ethnic enclaves. A country that cannot
control its borders isn't really a country anymore, Ronald Reagan reminded us.

The
tasks that Arizonans are themselves undertaking are ones that belong by right,
the Constitution and federal law to the Border Patrol, Immigration and Customs
Enforcement, and Homeland Security.

Arizona
has been compelled to assume the feds' role because the feds won't do their
job. And for that dereliction of duty the buck stops on the desk of the
president of the United States.

Why
is Obama paralyzed? Why does he not enforce the law, even if he dislikes it, by
punishing the businessmen who hire illegals and by sending the 12 million to 20
million illegals back home? President Eisenhower did it. Why won't he?

OBAMA
THE HISPANDERING PRESIDENT SELLING OUT HIS OWN COUNTRY FOR THE ILLEGALS’ VOTES!

*

Because
he is politically correct. Because he owes a big debt to the Hispanic lobby
that helped deliver two-thirds of that vote in 2008. Though most citizens of
Hispanic descent in Arizona want the border protected and the laws enforced,
the Hispanic lobby demands that the law be changed.

Fair
enough. But the nation rose up as one to reject the
"path-to-citizenship" -- i.e., amnesty -- that the 2007 plan of
George W. Bush, McCain, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama envisioned.

Al
Sharpton threatens to go to Phoenix and march in the streets against the new
Arizona law. Let him go.

JOBS?
NO LEGAL NEED APPLY HERE!

Let
us see how many African-Americans, who are today frozen out of the 8 million
jobs held by illegal aliens that might otherwise go to them or their children,
will march to defend an invasion for which they are themselves paying the
heaviest price.

Last
year, while Americans were losing a net of 5 million jobs, the U.S. government
-- Bush and Obama both -- issued 1,131,000 green cards to legal immigrants to
come and take the jobs that did open up, a flood of immigrants equaled in only
four other years in our history.

What
are we doing to our own people?

Whose
country is this, anyway?

America
today has an establishment that, because it does not like the immigration laws,
countenances and condones wholesale violation of those laws.

Nevertheless,
under those laws, the U.S. government is obligated to deport illegal aliens and
punish businesses that knowingly hire them.

This
is not an option. It is an obligation.

Can
anyone say Barack Obama is meeting that obligation?

The
Administration's Phantom Immigration Enforcement Policy

According
to DHS’s own reports, very little of our nation’s borders (Southwestern or
otherwise) are secure, and gaining control is not even a goal of the
department.

By
Ira Mehlman
Published on 12/07/2009

The
setting was not quite the flight deck of the U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln with a
“Mission Accomplished” banner as the backdrop, but it was the next best thing.
Speaking at the Center for American Progress (CAP) on Nov. 13, Homeland
Security Secretary Janet Napolitano declared victory over illegal immigration
and announced that the Obama administration is ready to move forward with a
mass amnesty for the millions of illegal aliens already living in the United
States.

Arguing
the Obama administration’s case for amnesty, Napolitano laid out what she
described as the “three-legged stool” for immigration reform. As the
administration views it, immigration reform must include “a commitment to
serious and effective enforcement, improved legal flows for families and
workers, and a firm but fair way to deal with those who are already here.”

Acknowledging
that a lack of confidence in the government’s ability and commitment to
effectively enforce the immigration laws it passes proved to be the Waterloo of
previous efforts to gain amnesty for illegal aliens, Napolitano was quick to
reassure the American public that those concerns could be put to rest.

“For
starters, the security of the Southwest border has been transformed from where
it was in 2007,” stated the secretary. Not only is the border locked up tight,
she continued, but the situation is well in-hand in the interior of the country
as well. “We’ve also shown that the government is serious and strategic in its
approach to enforcement by making changes in how we enforce the law in the
interior of the country and at worksites…Furthermore, we’ve transformed
worksite enforcement to truly address the demand side of illegal immigration.”

If
Rep. Joe Wilson had been in attendance to hear Secretary Napolitano’s CAP
speech he might well have had a few choice comments to offer. But since he
wasn’t, we will have to rely on the Department of Homeland Security’s own data
to assess the veracity of Napolitano’s claims.

According
to DHS’s own reports, very little of our nation’s borders (Southwestern or
otherwise) are secure, and gaining control is not even a goal of the
department. DHS claims to have “effective control” over just 894 miles of
border. That’s 894 out of 8,607 miles they are charged with protecting. As for
the other 7,713 miles? DHS’s stated border security goal for FY 2010 is the
same 894 miles.

The
administration’s strategic approach to interior and worksite enforcement is
just as chimerical as its strategy at the border, unless one considers
shuffling paper to be a strategy. DHS data, released November 18, show that
administrative arrests of immigration law violators fell by 68 percent between
2008 and 2009. The department also carried out 60 percent fewer arrests for
criminal violations of immigration laws, 58 percent fewer criminal indictments,
and won 63 percent fewer convictions.

While
the official unemployment rate has climbed from 7.6 percent when President
Obama took office in January to 10 percent today, the administration’s worksite
enforcement strategy has amounted to a bureaucratic game of musical chairs. The
administration has all but ended worksite enforcement actions and replaced them
with paperwork audits. When the audits determine that illegal aliens are on the
payroll, employers are given the opportunity to fire them with little or no
adverse consequence to the company, while no action is taken to remove the
illegal workers from the country. The illegal workers simply acquire a new set
of fraudulent documents and move on to the next employer seeking workers
willing to accept substandard wages.

In
Janet Napolitano’s alternative reality a mere 10 percent of our borders under
“effective control” and sharp declines in arrests and prosecutions of
immigration lawbreakers may be construed as confidence builders, but it is hard
to imagine that the American public is going to see it that way. If anything,
the administration’s record has left the public less confident that promises of
future immigration enforcement would be worth the government paper they’re
printed on.

As
Americans scrutinize the administration’s plans to overhaul immigration policy,
they are likely to find little in the “three-legged stool” being offered that
they like or trust. The first leg – enforcement – the administration has all
but sawed off. The second – increased admissions of extended family members and
workers – makes little sense with some 25 million Americans either unemployed
or relegated to part-time work. And the third – amnesty for millions of illegal
aliens – is anathema to their sense of justice and fair play.

As
Americans well know, declaring “Mission Accomplished” and actually
accomplishing a mission are two completely different things. When it comes to
enforcing immigration laws, the only message the public is receiving from this
administration is “Mission Aborted.”

“So unserious is the
administration about protecting the border that it has allowed a bureaucratic
turf battle between Interior and Homeland Security to let 4.3 million acres of
wilderness area become a haven and highway for illegal aliens, drug smugglers, human
traffickers and potential terrorists.”

Praising Arizona (In Border Battle)

Posted 04/26/2010 06:23 PM ET

Immigration: Arizona moves to protect its citizens from a raging border
war, and the administration and its activist supporters cry racism. Why is
antelope protection more important than protecting American lives?

'We
in Arizona have been more than patient waiting for Washington to act,"
Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer said Friday after signing a tough new immigration law
giving police more power in dealing with illegal immigration. "But decades
of inaction and misguided policy have created a dangerous and unacceptable
situation."

Arizona's
new law is a reminder that the states formed the federal government and not the
other way around. One of the federal government's functions was to provide for
the security of the new country against foreign enemies and intruders. At this,
and particularly under this administration, it has failed miserably.

There
are 460,000 illegal aliens in Arizona, a number that increases daily, placing
an undue burden on the state's schools, hospitals and law enforcement. Arizona
has a window seat to an illegal invasion and on the escalating and violent drug
war in Mexico that has put American lives and society at risk.

On
March 27, the consequences of a porous and unprotected border claimed the life
of Arizona rancher Robert Krentz after he radioed his brother that he was
checking out someone he believed to be an illegal immigrant.

Incredibly,
his murderer escaped to a pronghorn antelope area that the Interior Department
of Secretary Ken Salazar had placed off-limits to U.S. Border Patrol agents.

So unserious is the
administration about protecting the border that it has allowed a bureaucratic
turf battle between Interior and Homeland Security to let 4.3 million acres of
wilderness area become a haven and highway for illegal aliens, drug smugglers,
human traffickers and potential terrorists.

The
new law makes it a state crime to be in Arizona without proof of legal status,
and would authorize police to demand documents from those they suspected could
be illegal immigrants. It would also make it a crime to transport or hide
illegal immigrants.

The
police are authorized to act only when "REASONABLE SUSPICION EXISTS THAT
THE PERSON IS AN ALIEN WHO IS UNLAWFULLY PRESENT IN THE UNITED STATES" and
clearly states that police "MAY NOT SOLELY CONSIDER RACE, COLOR OR NATIONAL
ORIGIN" in inquiring about immigration status of a suspect individual.

President
Obama calls Arizona's tough new law "irresponsible" and
"misguided." But it wouldn't be necessary if the federal government
fulfilled its responsibility to secure the border. We are a nation of
immigrants — legal immigrants — but we are also a nation of laws that 70% of
Arizonans and most Americans want to see

Obama soft on illegals enforcement

Arrests of illegal immigrant
workers have dropped precipitously under President Obama, according to figures
released Wednesday. Criminal arrests, administrative arrests, indictments and
convictions of illegal immigrants at work sites all fell by more than 50
percent from fiscal 2008 to fiscal 2009.

The figures show that Mr. Obama has made good on his pledge to shift
enforcement away from going after illegal immigrant workers themselves - but at
the expense of Americans' jobs, said Rep. Lamar Smith of Texas, the Republican
who compiled the numbers from the Department of Homeland Security's U.S.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency (ICE). Mr. Smith, the top Republican
on the House Judiciary Committee, said a period of economic turmoil is the
wrong time to be cutting enforcement and letting illegal immigrants take jobs
that Americans otherwise would hold.

Shaping up to be the most corrupt
administration in American history:

Obama’s team:
Not the “best of the Washington insiders,” as the liberal media style
them, but rather, a dysfunctional and dangerous conglomerate of
business-as-usual cronies and hacks

In the first two
weeks alone of his infant administration, Obama had made no fewer than 17
exceptions to his “no-lobbyist” rule

Why the fact
that the massive infusion of union dues into his campaign treasury didn’t
trouble him in the least reveals Obama’s credibility as a reformer

The lack of
unprecedented pace of withdrawals and botched appointments -- and how
getting through the confirmation process was no guarantee of ethical
cleanliness or competence, even as Obama’s cheerleaders were glorifying
the Greatest Transition in World History

Inconsistency:
How Obama, erstwhile critic of the campaign finance practice known as
“bundling,” happily accepted more than $350,000 in bundled contributions
from billionaire hedge-fund managers

How Obama broke
his transparency pledge with the very first bill he signed into law --
helping make hostility to transparency is a running thread through Obama’s
cabinet

Joe Biden: It’s
not just that he lies, it’s that he lies so well that you think he really
believes the stuff he makes up

Treasury
Secretary Geithner: His ineptness and epic blundering -- including how he
nearly caused the collapse of the dollar in international trade with a
single remark

The appalling
story of Technology Czar Vivek Kundra, the convicted shoplifter in charge
of the entire federal government’s information security infrastructure

Obama’s “Porker
of the Month” Transportation Secretary, Roy LaHood: An earmark-addicted
influence peddler born and raised on the politics of pay-to-play

SEIU:
Responsible for installing a cabal of hand-chosen officers who exploited
their cash-infused fiefdoms for personal gain and presided over rigged
elections -- in the process, becoming all that they had professed to stand
against as representatives of the downtrodden worker

How Obama lied
on his “Fight the Smears” campaign website when he claimed that he “never
organized with ACORN”

ACORN: How the
profound threat the group poses is not merely ideological or economic --
it’s electoral

ACORN’s own
internal review of shady money transfers among its web of affiliates: How
it underscores concerns that conservatives have long raised about the
organization

Liar, liar,
pantsuit on fire: How Hillary Clinton has already trampled upon her
promise not to let her husband’s financial dealings sway her decisions as
Secretary of State

How even a few
principled progressives are finally beginning to question the cult of
Obama -- even as Obama sycophants in the mainstream media continue to celebrate
his “hipness” and “swagga”

Culture of Corruption: Obama and His Team of Tax Cheats,
Crooks, and Cronies

by Michelle Malkin

Editorial Reviews

In her shocking new book, Malkin digs deep into the records
of President Obama's staff, revealing corrupt dealings, questionable pasts, and
abuses of power throughout his administration.

From the Inside Flap

The era of hope and change is dead....and it only took six
months in office to kill it.

Never has an administration taken office with more inflated
expectations of turning Washington around. Never have a media-anointed American
Idol and his entourage fallen so fast and hard. In her latest investigative
tour de force, New York Times bestselling author Michelle Malkin delivers a
powerful, damning, and comprehensive indictment of the culture of corruption
that surrounds Team Obama's brazen tax evaders, Wall Street cronies, petty
crooks, slum lords, and business-as-usual influence peddlers. In Culture of
Corruption, Malkin reveals:

* Why nepotism beneficiaries First Lady Michelle Obama and
Vice President Joe Biden are Team Obama's biggest liberal hypocrites--bashing
the corporate world and influence-peddling industries from which they and their
relatives have benefited mightily

* What secrets the ethics-deficient members of Obama's
cabinet--including Hillary Clinton--are trying to hide

* Why the Obama White House has more power-hungry,
unaccountable "czars" than any other administration

* How Team Obama's first one hundred days of appointments
became a litany of embarrassments as would-be appointee after would-be
appointee was exposed as a tax cheat or had to withdraw for other reasons

* How Obama's old ACORN and union cronies have squandered
millions of taxpayer dollars and dues money to enrich themselves and expand
their power

* How Obama's Wall Street money men and corporate lobbyists
are ruining the economy and helping their friends In Culture of Corruption,
Michelle Malkin lays bare the Obama administration's seamy underside that the
liberal media would rather keep hidden.

BARACK OBAMA HAS COLLECTED NEARLY TWICE AS MUCH MONEY AS
JOHN McCAIN

BY DAVID SALTONSTALL

DAILY NEWS SENIOR CORRESPONDENT

July 1st 2008

Wall Street firms have chipped in more than $9 million to
Barack Obama. Zurga/Bloomberg

Wall Street is investing heavily in Barack Obama.

Although the Democratic presidential hopeful has vowed to
raise capital gains and corporate taxes, financial industry bigs have
contributed almost twice as much to Obama as to GOP rival John McCain, a Daily
News analysis of campaign records shows.

"Wall Street wants change and wants a curtailment in
spending. It wants someone who focuses on the domestic economy," said Jim
Cramer, the boisterous host of CNBC's "Mad Money."

Cramer also does not discount nostalgia for the go-go 1990s,
when Bill Clinton led the largest economic expansion in history.

"It wants a Clinton like in 1992, but not a Hillary
Clinton," he said. "That's Barack Obama."

For both candidates, Wall Street's investment and banking
sectors have become among their portliest cash cows, contributing $9.5 million
to Obama and $5.3 million to McCain so far.

It's a haul that is already raising concerns that, as the
nation's faltering economy has become issue No. 1, the two candidates may have
a hard time playing tough on issues like market regulation or corporate-tax
loopholes.

"No matter who wins in November, Wall Street will have
a friend in the White House," said Massie Ritsch of the Center for
Responsive Politics, which crunched the data for The News.
